Our article is out today in Sports Medicine. It discusses how national sport systems can support both talent development and broader participation among young athletes, using the Swedish context as a starting point.

[Tommy Lundberg @TLexercise]

Thankful to have written this together with @jornalind @bakerjtoronto @jeancote46 @Ivarsson_A and a few more! They are leading researchers in this area, and I have learned a great deal from working with them.

Happy to share our latest paper with @phd_sean , @GemmaNParry and me on the assessment of growth and maturation in youth sport.

With stakeholder education, privacy protection, voluntary participation, trained assessors and a holistic child-centred approach, it can support athlete welfare and development.

@meister_funk Normally, you would group a few age groups together and divide them into bands. This means late maturers generally “play down” in age. But bio-banding is a complement to age bands; it is not meant to replace them.

Att få läsa denna text om Lagerbielke av @AndyBengt är värt minst en årsprenumeration av @MagasinOffside

Jag åkte till Braga för sex veckor sedan och träffade Gustaf Lagerbielke. En fotbollsspelare som ingen annan.
